ADMIN NOTICE : OFFICIAL FACTION RIGHTS

[hack]

I actually think this is a step in the right direction.

As for the Factions being able to request a battleship license be removed upon proof of abuse of a battleship, I think that request should be extended for ALL capships. Its not just Battleships that get abused, Cruisers and Destroyers have a higher incidence of abuse. We all have been in situations where we have got the wtfpwn by one.

As for Dieters suggestion of harsher punishment for capships abuse, I think it's a great Idea. Don't do the Crime if you can't afford the punishment. Having a capship is a big responsibility in that you have to roleplay it correctly and have some self restraint and maturity. If you don't have those qualities, or are unable to grasp them when it is pointed out what you have done wrong and change your ways, then you don't need it.

Take it a step further...

"You can't post that rp on the forum because it involves our faction/system and affects our role play. Since we are "official" and you aren't, we will role play it our way or else have the admin strip your ship and cash if you play otherwise...capish?"

Actually, I agree with this. More than once someone has posted something that flies in the face of established / NPC rp gameplay without so much as a "By your leave" to the established faction / NPC faction and when asked about it, the answer is "I am not part of your faction so I can do whatever I want"
This I think is incredibly rude and self serving. WE dont need Indie LPI battleships sitting in the Badlands zapping light fighters (YES, it happened), someone who wants to RP the Chief of Liberty police, when the faction already has one (Yup, again this happened), Or someone that wants to roleplay the Internal Investigation division and "investigate " all of the officers here, telling them to stop what they are doing and telling them that they have power over my factionalized officers and they need to comply (Again, yes it happened). NO, it isn't right and I won't be a party to it.
